Wheels & Tire Combo
Hey guys,
I'm planning on purchasing the rims and tires listed below and am just hoping to double check to make sure I didn't overlook anything. Feel free to give input on fitment, how they will look, and any issues I may run into. I'm aware that the rims aren't TPMS compatible. If i'm correct the TPMS light should blink on the dashboard for a minute and then go to a solid color without any other issues. Can anyone conform how my truck will act lacking the TPMS sensors? Also from what i'm told I can expect my my tires to stick out a few inches with the -12 offset on the rims. Any guess on exactly how much? Lastly I'm eventually planning on a 2.5" leveling kit and 1.5" rear lift but until then should I expect any rubbing that pulling back or trimming the wheel wells can't fix? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the input. I was thinking about running a 0 offset but was recommended to run the -12 by a friend for a fear of rubbing. Still trying to decide between the -12 or the 0 offset. The first would look beastly with the tires hanging out but I'm going to have to get fender flares so mud doesn't fly everywhere. If I go with the 0 it would be almost stock from what I'm told but theres a better chance of rubbing without a lift installed. Anyone with experience between the two or pictures?

I assume this is a 08+ truck. 0 offset will stick out about 1". -12 would be about 1.5". 12mm difference. 0 offset will have less chance of rubbing. The further the wheel sticks out, the more lift that is needed. Stock wheels will give you the most clearance at the bumper and fender, but will rub the radius arms, which lift will not help. You have to find a happy medium there. Readylift actually recommends 0 offset to run 37's with a 3.5" lift. In my opinion, 0 offset looks tuff when ran without flares. Some clear 35's no problem stock, others need to pull back liners and possibly trim valance.
You will have to clear that tpms warning every time you start the truck. I would like some info on why the wheel isn't tpms compliant with our type sensors. It's just a pressure sensor on the end of the valve stem.

Ended up calling Summit and asking about why no TPMS compatibility and they told me this rim doesn't have room for a sensor. Not sure if thats true or not. Also just wondering whats involved in clearing the TPMS warning? Thanks.

If you have the snow plow prep, you can run either offset, just beware when you put the plow on, because it will rub.

I've heard of dropping the pressure but you mentioned I would have to clear the system every time I get in the truck. What did you mean by that? Do I just need to click off of the warning screen when it pops up and then forget about it? Keep in mind I don't care if there is a bright orange TPMS logo always on my dashboard as long as it's not beeping at me constantly I'll be happy.

[QUOTE=That 350 Guy;16995455]Yes its a 2012 F350. Looks like I've got more researching to do deciding between the -12 and 0 offset. Also hoping to get as good of a fit as possible until I get around to lifting.
Go with the "0" offset for best chance of clearing 35's w/no lift. Better yet, for stock height fitment would be the +18mm offset on a 9" wide wheel.

I run 325/65/20 Nitto Ridge grapplers (35.5") on an 11' 350. I do have 2.5" lift, but that is not a factor. Wheels rub slightly on full lock. No different with plow on. I put these on XD 10" wheels that I think are -12 offset.

I ran into a guy who did a neat tpms mod. He swapped to larger aftermarket wheels as well. He took his factory tpms sensors off his stock wheels and put them in a steel canister just big enough to hold them. This was an airtight canister and he added a tire valve to it. He pressurized it the appropriate amount and kept it behind his rear seat! Pretty good thinkin I thought
